So I am composing music for a silent film, so that pretty much means music plays a big part in the dialogue. It is really intense, I started working on a piece today and if you want to hear it here is a link to download it http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=download&ufid=1A6850A86CFB6882

That is an awful recording but it shows alot of direction.

Take it easy.

Show tonight at O-CHA, we are selling our CDs there also. So anywho, I went to Barnes and Noble yesterday afternoon and enjoyed a new book during a rainstorm. Then went downtown with Alex after the rain cleared and had an amazing time. Well, I have to finish getting ready for this show. Adios.

Damn, Hyena Records just contacted me back and told me they would let me know if they could do anything at all after they listen to our recordings. This is intense, Hyena is one of my favorites.

I just sent some material to Rope-A-Dope and Hyena records. I know that I probably won't hear anything back but nothing is for sure. So playing a show tonight and doing a piece that we have not done in some time Scaling fences.

I just had a sweet recording session with McDade.

We did a damn good recording of one our newest it is called Teal Green Limosine and if you are interested go to www.myspace.com/newstandard to take a listen.

I can not wait to move out so we can do recording all of the time because we are going to get so much done.

Anywho, take it easy.

Just got back from Bonnaroo and I have to say that I had an amazing time.

Radiohead was freaking amazing and I saw so many other great perfomances. Me and my friends even got to play in front of an audience on Sunday.

I am now going to go an pass out after I eat a some food.

So I have been working nonstop on my new piece, It is something that I am very proud of the title of it is teal green limosine and it is orchestrated jazz. All is well

So last night was pretty crazy, Went to the Pickin' Parlor and played some music. Played a jam with Monty that was pretty cool and I definately enjoyed Erin's company. I might purchase a Bass Synth today, I don't know for sure but you never know. I'm so glad I don't have work today!

I totally got a new car yesterday thanks to my Mom. Its pretty much the same car I use to have but a 2001 with a sun roof!!! Woohoo! Anyway everything is perfect for me right now and I could not be any more happy.

Last night was amazing, McDade picked me up after work and we went to the Pickin' Parlor and Erin showed up which totally surprised me. I had so much more of an ultimate time with her being with me. I believe our performance went really well, the recording of course will be online shortly. Anywho, I am dating the most amazing girl I have ever known and I couldn't be anymore happy. Today we are sending CDs to record companies that McDade got intouch with yesterday, I hope something good happens from all of this. Bonnaroo is in just a couple of weeks! Life is sweet.

So next saturday me and McDade have to go to this business meeting to perform music that is going to be in Skip's movie. I am so excited, I still can't believe the opening song is an idea that I had 2 years ago and thought would never be used is actually being put to use in cinema. As far as the jazz band goes we are working on getting more shows and passing out demos to people. We are playing a talent conest at the Pickin' Parlor tomorrow and even if we don't win playing the music is more than enough for me. I went to the park today and sat in the swings with my good friend McDade, I swear sometimes we have the most indepth conversations that are incredible. I hope everything is going good for everyone right now.

Got my triplet tattoo redone yesterday and I have to say it looks pretty good.

Went over to Erin's and had an amazing time like usual and she has a concert today that I am totally looking forward to.

Life is pretty good right now, I'm going to get my shoulder tattoo repaired in a week. But besides that, I am having the most amazing time with Erin. She is so amazing. That is all for now,

bassgasm @ 2006-04-27T23:01:00

2006-04-28T03:01:37Z

I can not wait to see Erin's performance tomorrow.

She is so kick ass.
